Mermaid Parade - Coney Island

One of my first weekends here. Me, my new NY best friend Sandy and her two roommates headed out to Coney Island for the afternoon. The Mermaid Parade was taking place that day at Coney Island and my roommate and his band were playing in it...so we went to check it out!

We actually didn't watch too much of the parade, but instead just enjoyed riding the rides. This is the last summer Coney Island will be the same...and the last time the Cyclone will be running. So of course we had to ride it one last time...

Here are the photos.

Our view of the Mermaid Parade...yeah, it doesn't help being short.

The famous Cyclone! This roller coaster scares the heck out of me...But it is too much fun not to go on it!!!

I barely made it...

Sandy's roommates Nick and Pat on the Wonder Wheel! They didn't know we were getting on the moving cart! Ha...it was so funny watching them after they realized it moved!!

Sandy and me on the Wonder Wheel. Today we decided to dress as twins.
